Chapter 8
Grissom sat next to Sara while she slept when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hey how is she doing" asked Catherine who had popped over to see how they were doing and to bring Grissom some food and some coffee.
"So far so good but I think the pain will hit her hard when she wakes up, as the medication will probably start wearing off soon " signed Grissom.
"Gil, Sara is not silly she also knows her pain threshold and knows she needs to keep her strength up for the baby " Catherine said.
"I know. Thanks for the food. Is everything at the lab under control?"
"All is fine. We have Steve from days covering".
"Here is the paperwork I finished too".
Just then Catherine's pager went off so she left. Grissom lent back in his chair while drinking his coffee but he was quickly brought to his feet when he heard groans coming from Sara.
"Ouch, oh Gil it hurts" Sara moaned taking her hand to the back of her neck.
Grissom quickly grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Sara, honey you cannot touch it. You are going to be in a bit of pain so just breathe and I will get the nurse".
30 seconds later and Ruby had entered.
"How are we feeling"
"Not so good , oh god I think I am going to be sick"
Ruby quickly grabbed the basin while Sara vomited. Grissom rubbed her back.
"Better" he asked
"Yep"
"I will page the doctor and get some more medication for Sara" Ruby said.
"No" said stated. "I cannot have any medication as it is not good for the baby"
"Sara the medication will not harm your baby I promise and besides the more pain you are in is more risk to the baby" Ruby said.
"No its not, I refuse medication"
"Come on Sara" Grissom said.
"No, Gil don't argue with me I am too tired to" sighed Sara.
"Ok, I still want to speak with your doctor" Ruby said.
As she left Sara just continued to breathe while closing her eyes but it just did not help.
"Gil, quick am going to be sick again". Grissom held the bowl while Sara continued to be sick. He knew that she was sick due to the pain but there was nothing he could do to force her unless the baby became in distress.
10 minutes later Dr King entered. Sara had been dozing off and on. How are you feeling asked the doctor?"
"Terrible" stated Sara. I had no idea it would be this painful and I keep vomiting.
"Sara we had to go in rather deep as it was bigger than we imagined. The reason you are vomiting is because your body is having trouble with the pain so I would recommend some pain medication it is not harmful to the baby and will make you feel better" Dr King said.
"Thanks but I really do not want any medication" Sara said.
Dr King clearly could see that Sara was in pain but if she was refusing there was nothing she could do.
Grissom left to speak to the doctor. Sara just laid there with her eyes closed listening to her son's heartbeat. She was determined to do this her way.
"Look Gil if Sara is refusing we cannot make her take any medication. The only way we can is if the baby becomes distressed. I will speak to Dr Ryan and get her to do a check but Sara is of sound mind so she will not endanger the baby. If the pain gets worse page me and I will see if we cannot try something else" Dr King said while rushing off towards" another patient.
Grissom walked back to the room. On entering Sara was crying.
"Sara honey what is it"
"Oh Gil the pain is just so bad " sobbed Sara
"That is it I am getting the doctor
"Gil no"
"Sara, I cannot watch you in this amount of pain"
Just as he started to leave the room the baby monitor alarms just went off. Sara then started panicking. Ruby came rushing in as Grissom was about to get help.
"What happened" Ruby asked.
"She starting complaining about the pain and then the monitor starting flashing" Gil said.
Ruby then reached up for the oxygen mask and put it over Sara's face.
"Now Sara I want you to try and relax and breath, any stomach cramps?"
Sara shook her head.
I have paged both Dr King and Dr Ryan so just try and relax.
Grissom had to admit that he was really worried now……….
